The Smoke That Consumes [Closed]
Characters: Zuko, Katara, [Ask before joining]
Date: 2 Weeks after Evandau
Location: Wood Sector, streets
Situation: Zuko, due to his infection, has snapped and is chasing Katara
Warnings/Rating: Possible Violence and much tearbending
She didn't know how long she had been running. The scenery had changed--that much, at least, she had been able to notice while dodging the continuous blasts of fire that lit up the night washed streets. Her lungs, already strained from her failing dash for escape from the Fire Sector now burned from the smoke as he got closer.
It never took much these days to set him off, thanks to the infection. His nightmares had grown more intense, and, helpless, Katara had watched him slip further and further into the madness. She had done her best, watching over him, helping soothe the pain when she could, offering as much support as she could provide. Some days had been good; others had been much more trying. His nights were always rough.
And tonight was clearly one of his worst.
What had set him off was still unclear, though she figured it didn't matter so much now, not when he had snapped like this. His fits so far hadn't been this violent; she had always been able to find a way to calm him one way or another. Something inside him must have snapped and was very much not on its way to being mended by the water bender any time soon.
And so she ran, hoping to take his target out of the picture, hoping that he would calm on his own, hoping in vain. Unable to escape, she had tried to fight, but his rage, and whatever was driving it, refused to be quenched by the little water she carried with her.
The edge of the turtle. If she could just reach its edge, she'd have enough water to bring him down, to at least slow his attack until this wave had passed. And so it was there she ran, dodging and sweeping, not daring to mourn just yet.
Once this was over, she would help repair what they had marred. But until then, her only focus was getting him away from everything, and closer to the water. Fear cackled in her ears as the trees around her burned, but she refused to listen.
The moon, full and bright, watched over the girl and her pursuer as they wove through the street.

Because...he may be a pacifistic monk, but that still won't go well for you.

Hey, as long as you aren't listening in to whatever is going on in Katara's room that's fine by him.

Akito will Waterbend a blob of water at Aang's head like a snowball. Made of water.
no subject
His expression says: Oh no, you didn't.
With practiced ease he reforms the ball of water and suspends it in a ball of air just above his now out stretched hand.
You really shouldn't have done that, Akito.
Because now there's not only a ball of SUPER COLD water coming for you, but because of airbending...it's going to follow you around corners should you run.

And after he's wet he just freezes it into a layer of frost on himself and shakes it off.
Then tries frosting over Aang's feet.
no subject
Aang easily leaps back to avoid the creeping frost, pulling up the small trace amounts of water with him in an effort to retalilate one more time.
It's just...that this leap back puts him directly in front of the door right in time for Aang to hear Korra invite him in.
